Re: Help identifying electrical part

I realize this is an old post, but wanted to confirm for future readers that the item in question IS definitely a factory part found on Sweptlines as part of the 1971 NOx system. It is the "NOx Spark Retard Sensor". See my post here for more details (it is the 5th Topic, on page 1): http://www.swept...

Re: Radiator HELP!!!

I see Champion now has the CC6169 for our trucks... looks like a nice fit.

Anyone ever use ECP (Engineered Cooling Products) radiators?
The 26" sounds a lot like the same style and 1" coolant tubes the Champions use...

Re: Hood scoops on '71 auto show concept Swepty

Jim, you may be right! Am doing more research and given the angle and the lighting, the Dart scoops may just be what was used. How about the wheels, anyone have any idea what those might have been? Am guessing, given the lower core support, this would have been a 383-equipped, A/C truck, as well... ...

Re: talked to a sweptline salesman today

I know it's been many years, but if Frank has any info on the 1970 Chicago Auto Show concept truck, would like to know what hood scoops were used (Dart/Coronet, or ?) and waht engine was in it. Anything else about it, too. http://www.sweptline.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=39289&p=281936&hilit=Aut...

Re: Warn Locking Hub Question

To answer a few of the above items... The M15D hub looks like the M7, and apparently like the M15E. My '69 W200 Crewcab w/ 3500# Dana 44 (large knuckle) has this hub. The 'large thin o-ring' in the rebuild kit could go between the lock-out and hub, or the hub extension and the wheel hub. I've seen t...

Re: 1968 and Later Shifter & Transfer Case Boots

If you find a source for NEW, let us know!

I've looked for years, but can only find used ones. '69 and up (single stick, NP205) uses the same boot as Dodges up through at least the late 70's.

Hi Kenny,
Did you ever have any luck getting the Town Panel/Town Wagon floor pans figured out?

I have one now if you need any measurements, pictures, etc.

Re: 1966 D300 slant six to 440 swap with NP435

While the 318A bellhousing (hydraulic) will certainly bolt on to a 318LA, the flywheels have different offset distances from the rear of the block. The 318A flywheel has a deeper crank flange, to clear the front 'wall' of the hydraulic bellhousing. The 318A starter also nests deeper into the bellhou...

Re: 68 W200 fuse clips and steering wheel removal.

To make it simple, you'll need a "Steering wheel puller" to remove that...
Google & YouTube will provide plenty of instructions and pictures.

Borrow one from an O'Reilly (or other auto parts store that loans tools), or
buy a kit, Harbor Freight or your choice.

Re: Tow Bars

Note: if you rent, and if they ask you what you will be hauling on the trailer... consider your answer carefully. Many years ago UHaul (various places) stopped letting me rent when I told them I was going to haul a 196x Dodge pickup truck. So I began renting to haul a 198x Nissan Stanza ! :salut

Re: Turn signal switch

Not the same as your '66 (or any pre-'69)... connector pins are different, at a minimum. If it does mount to your column, I believe the turn signal lever will mount differently, too. If that all works, or you get it to work, I would change the under-dash wires to the '69 and later style connectors, ...
